Stop them from doing what? If everyone is equal and everyone has what they need to prosper, why would they attack their neighbors? And if they do kill their neighbors and double their resources, why would other communities tolerate warlords? They'd form a militia to take them out before they invade the next town.

You don't worry about people feeling like they didn't get their fair share? In my life, I've jl seen people who hate for no reason and it scares me. Just look at our current political situation. I agree with you about how great it would be and is worth doing. I guess I'm just scared.

one response to this is that a lot of the 'hate for no reason' comes from psychosocial dislocations and socioeconomic inequalities caused by hierarchical social systems.

warlords might arise, all an anarchist community could do is form militias to resist them. hopefully warlords would have hierarchical militias, because the anarchist non-hierarchical ones would have a way better chance of winning. but it might lose too. that's just the way things go
